Overbearing?
OPINION: Dust ups between rural media and PR types aren't unheard of but also aren't common, given part of the job description of PR is to grease the wheels and ensure clients get good media coverage.
Zhanna Samsonova, a Russian blogger who regularly posted about her diet and extolled the virtues of a vegan diet of only raw tropical fruit, has died – reportedly of malnutrition, exhaustion and infections.
The 39-year-old claimed she had not drunk water for six years, drinking fruit and vegetable juices instead.
Living off fruit, fruit juices and fruit smoothies, she appeared increasingly thin and gaunt in the photographs she posted online.
She looked like “a walking skeleton”, one Russian news outlet reported.
Perhaps if the ‘influencer’ had had a bit more balance in her diet – including meat and dairy – things might not have turned out so badly for her.
